Reasons to Invest in Didion Moisture Separators

Did you know that in some cases, even 5% moisture in your steam-heated or steam-driven equipment can cause a sizeable loss of performance efficiencies? One of the best solutions to eliminating wet steam is by using high quality industrial moisture separators. Didion Separator Company offers three highly efficient steam separator models—Type DSL model, Type DST model, and Type DSU model. Also, we can design custom units to meet your unique requirements.

Water droplets and suspended particulate matter measuring 10 microns or more can be effectively removed using a moisture separator. Our separators can eliminate up to 99% of all entrainment from gas, air, and vapor pipelines. You can expect negligible pressure drop levels during this process. Our standard or custom separators can be provided in versatile configurations depending on your requirements.

Simply stated, moisture separators are a low-cost insurance against moisture-related threats that can damage the internal elements of several machines. For instance, high velocity steam contains water droplets. When these water droplets continually hit the internals of your equipment, they cause an erosive effect.


  1. At Didion Separator Company, we stand committed to the safety and efficiency of your processes. Here are some facts about our steam separators.
  2.  Standard steam separator models can be shipped for delivery immediately. For custom models, it could take four to six weeks (or slightly longer depending on external factors such as material availability).
  3. All standard 150# units are designed for 150 psig @ 500° F., and all standard 300# units are designed for 500 psig @ 650° F.
  4. We use the highest quality stainless steel internal elements in all our moisture separators to guarantee corrosion-free service for years.
  5. We hold ASME stamps for the manufacturing of pressure vessels to ASME Sect. VIII (Div 1 & 2), for the manufacturing of Power Boilers to ASME Sect. 1, and for the manufacturing of Pressure Piping to ASME Sect. 1 and B31.1.
